KKK Leader Called Univision Reporter The N-Word, Threatened to ‘Burn’ Her as She Conducted Interview

A Univision news anchor, somehow managed to get through an interview with the leader of a Ku Klux Klan chapter who called her a nigger and threatened to burn her, all while she was doing her job.

The incident started when Christian Barker, the imperial wizard of the Loyal White Knights of the KKK in Pelham, N.C., and his wife, Amanda, agreed to do an interview with Univision. According to a producer, in the segment that later aired, it was explained to him that he would be interviewed by a Hispanic woman of color and he readily agreed.

The most fascinating part of this was when, in the most blatant show of cognitive dissonance, the couple were asked if they represented a hate group and they insisted that the KKK is not a hate group and they don’t hate anyone.

When asked if they were racist, Christopher replied immediately, “No. I think everyone deserves the right to live.”
